Admittedly, I scooped up this cover up during a Cusp sale after spotting it on Julia during her Cabo trip. I’m headed to Belize with my best girlfriend in July and thought it would be the perfect piece for lounging on crystal-sand beaches. I planned to save it for a few months but couldn’t resist throwing it on over some nude slips for a quick stroll around the neighborhood on a particularly hot day. I absolutely love the bold print and the unique shape. Not typically one to buy oversized items, I think it’s flattering in a unique way.

The geometric print that rises in a deep V in the center of my body draws the eye inward, while the uneven hem keeps it youthful.

Fun fact about this lace slip: it was my grandmothers, and it’s Dior. She purchased it in the late 50’s and passed it down to be a few years ago. I wear it rarely to preserve it as best as possible, but absolutely love it’s delicate detail peaking out from this modern dress.

Absolutely can’t wait for Belize in July and am continuing the purchasing process. Anything you think I can’t do without?

These are the last of our China pictures, from our final destination: Beijing. We spent 3 full days in the city, and i’m not gonna lie when I say it was a difficult few days. We were already exhausted from almost 8 days of constant moving, and mainland China is not the easiest to navigate for noobie tourists. Nevertheless, seeing Tiananmen square, the Forbidden city, the Great Wall and tons of night markets and restaurants was amazing, and a true cultural experience for us.

Beautiful waving canal in the Forbidden City.

And this guy, waving around, a little loopy from the heat.

Sweaty with no makeup during our very steep hike up the Great Wall! Such an amazing view and highlight of the whole trip.

Last but not least, our final adventure. We rode push carts all the way down the Great Wall to the base! So so amazing and definitely something I would recommend if you visit.

Quick outfit showing you what I wore while in Macau. We did a lot of walking, checking out casinos and weaving in and out of boutiques. I wanted to be comfy and casual so I relied heavily on this Club Monaco maxi dress. I even wore it on the plane on the way home!

Oh and side note: because it was so hot, under the dress I wore Bandelettes for the first time. If we are being honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan. I can do a full review/give my thoughts if you guys would like. Just leave me a note telling me if that’s a post you’d enjoy in the comments below!

Hey remember that time I went to China? Cesar and I went on a whirlwind, super exhausting but fantastic exploration through Hong Kong, Beijing and Macau. We allotted approximately 3 days for each city and were literally running the entire time.

If you can’t tell from these pictures already, Hong Kong consisted of a lot of looking and sensational views. From the Peak (pictured at the top) to Victoria Harbor (above), Hong Kong is just beautiful, and somewhere I could absolutely see myself living.

The Chinese culture is still so rich in HK even though it is a very international city. We walked through the Temple Street night market in Kowloon and loved exploring all of the open air eateries and little shops.

This is downtown Kowloon (the side of the harbor we stayed on), and we were pretty taken aback that it looks somewhat like New York. Very bustling, lots of cabs and people. The Hong Kong side of Victoria Harbor is even more so like Manhattan.

Perhaps the most exciting thing for me was the emphasis on shopping in the city. There was literally every brand you could ever want and so many malls I couldn’t even keep track. I kid you not I saw nearly 10 Chanel stores while there and could barely contain myself. The picture above is of some bags displayed at Maud Frizon, a brand I learned about from Tiffany Ish!

Oh, and Cesar casually walking through a fountain. Cuz guys, it was HOT.
